Conservative Policy Forum
Everything in politics starts with an idea. Sometimes it’s a burning injustice that’s got to be fixed. Sometimes it's an inspirational vision of how to make the world a better place.
A single idea can build new societies, new ways of living that are better than before. An inspiring idea will outlast elections, Parliaments and Prime Ministers, leap national borders and change entire countries.
The Conservative Policy Forum is here to find the world-changing, era-defining ideas and shape the policies of tomorrow. Join us as, together, we seek to develop and advance Conservative ideas and policies within the Party and in Government for the benefit of the whole nation.
The Conservative Policy Forum champions Conservative policies locally and nationally so as to support the election of Conservative candidates, and to feed in ideas to the No 10 Policy Unit and to Ministerial Special Advisers. The CPF, nationally, made a significant contribution to the 2019 election manifesto.
Conservative Policy Forum groups have been set up across the UK. Each constituency should have one and ours is the Bexhill and Battle Association Conservative Policy Forum. Our CPF meets monthly and creates regular opportunities for all members, regardless of age or location or membership of the Party, to discuss the challenges facing the country and to have influence on Party policy. We often have our MP, Huw Merriman joining us. Every CPF should feed into the local Executive Committee.
Our CPF usually runs on the 2nd or 3rd Friday of the month. We meet either on zoom, or at the Red Lion Pub, Denbigh Road, Hooe , TN339EW at 12.30 for a 1pm start. We order lunch and drinks at the bar and then have our discussion. We discuss a paper prepared by Dr John Hayward for CCHQ. The Chairman formulates a response paper which is sent to central office and to our MP.
